Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How should I handle it when a newborn doesn't make any noise while sleeping?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it might be a lack of calcium. If a baby lacks calcium, they may become restless and agitated, often waking up from a sound sleep, and may experience bald spots on the back of their head. Additionally, they may sweat excessively, and the sweat may have a fishy smell. You can refer to these symptoms to determine if your child is lacking in calcium. If it is indeed a calcium deficiency, it is generally not due to insufficient calcium in the milk, as both breast milk and formula milk contain sufficient calcium to meet the needs of infants under three months old.
